Parents in Onslow County have a closer link to what is happening in their child’s school.

The school district rolled its mobile application in April 2016. This app simplifies and personalizes information that OCS parents, staff and community members can access on-the-go.

The app is part of SchoolMessenger, the school’s web host provider. It is available for download, and is free, at the App Store and at Google Play. The app pulls information from the district website, school sites and social media feeds in order to keep information current. Users have the ability to customize the app so they only see information for the schools they are interested in. Through the app parents will also be able to access the Parent Portal, Student Portal, and alerts.

This is just one more way parents can stay up to date with news from their child’s school including the school menu, upcoming events and other information, and it can be downloaded free. The app aggregates messages and calendar dates from the district as well as selected schools, so parents can now access both system and school information in one place. Our parents with students in multiple schools can get the latest news from all locations in a single app.

“We are constantly working to enhance transparency and collaboration with our stakeholders, and this is an additional tool to support communication flow,” Superintendent Rick Stout said.

“We hope you will download the free app today.”

Our website is in the process of being updated to ensure compliance with section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act. In the interim website accessibility concerns may be brought to the attention of Jeff Pittman, Chief Technology Officer.

The school system retains control over what links will be placed on system-related websites; however, the linked sites themselves are not under the control
of the school system, its agents or its employees. The school system is not responsible for the contents of any linked site, any link contained in a linked site,
or any changes or updates to such sites. The school system provides links as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not imply endorsment
of the site by the school system. The school system reserves the right to remove or restrict any links.
